News has dubbed this new astral body the “Black Star” and some groups around Jaern have given it the name “Onrudri” and are claiming it is the start of an apocalypse.

Warmer weather has reduced the effects of the storm to milder winds and snows, and a few trade routes have reopened. The Solariums of Ra and Natatoriums of Neptune have banded together, and called forth a joint mission to counter the blizzard and return Jaern to normal. |

Reports of time lapses or anomalies grow more common, and the Mages’ Guilds are at a loss for what to do. |
- | //The Centralia Mages’ Guild has finally released an official statement about the planetary body that appears to have collided into Jaern earlier this week. While the information is still incomplete, we know that adventuring operatives have already been sent to explore. Luckily, it appears that this “moon” did not physically collide with Jaern in the cataclysmic sense, and that some sort of planar magic may be at play.// | + | > A beacon of green light can be seen from across Ageron, extending from Firehammer. Reports of similar beacons are coming in from various other places: Kratal, Lojem, and far in the north, beyond the Rhine. |

Black smoke can be seen billowing up into the sky, with a singular large eye in the clouds over the city. Torites have been amassing in force to retake the city, but even still with preparations. Very few of this invading force have fallen. Of those that have, they appear to be commoners of Prall. Factory workers with no discernable mutates or unusual abilities. |
